The wedding started for us early in the day and went into the evening.  Lighting was tricky but we were able to take hundreds of great pictures.  The family portraits were a lot of fun for us.  We especially love the Pastor League, Darin and Kandy, Todd and Susan.  We can't wait to get the pictures up.

Although exhausted, the first thing we did when we arrived home that evening was to make five total backups of every picture we took.  I don't feel safe until I know that the pictures are secure.  Now, Eunice is working almost non-stop on pictures....and there's a lot of them!

Thank you, Cody and Colette, for letting us be part of your day!

As always, thank you Brandon and Christy for letting us be part of your family memories.

Thank you Ioana and Otniel for allowing us be part of your day!
